First Place

Oh, Forgive Me - SHM

 
"just the other day, I came across a picture of you with your horse,
and I was amazed to see how much we look alike: could it be true that
you are just words upon cold stone; my beautiful and kind Jacqueline "

                                                               Quote by _Constance
                                                                  

Mom, I pray forgiveness as it was me,
I had to let go- it dwells in my mind;
it was me mother who said set her free,
I was the one who had papers to sign.

There was nothing I could do to change fate,
I would have mom, even given my life;
the decision so hard but could not wait,
my heart was stabbed with a sharp blood-soaked knife.

With each gasping, breath you took in this world,
I asked God is there nothing to be done?
I hated what had to be- it still whirls,
I asked God why I have to be the one?

Can you forgive me mom for letting go?
Mom, you were so kind and I loved you so.


had to let you go
and mom it still twirls and whirls ... 
               a knife stabbed my heart


with each gasping I kept asking God- is there nothing that can be done

Charles Messina January 2, 2024 at 7:57 AM Constance, this touched me so deeply. When my dad got in a car accident over 10 years ago, my siblings and I had to make that decision. It is heartbreaking to let someone you love- let go, even though it is the best thing to do. (tears) Congratulations on your top win! Happy New Year...Blessings ~Charlie Constance La France January 9, 2024 at 11:25 AM Charlie, thank you so much for the contest and my placement, and for the compliment, comment, congratulations and for sharing, Constance
